- College of the Ozarks www.cofo.edu
Several schools share the "Linebacker U" and "Quarterback U" monikers in reference
to the NFL talent that their college football programs produce, but the only
"Hard Work U" is located in Point Lookout, Missouri. In 1973, a Wall Street
Journal reporter bestowed that title on the College of the Ozarks, where students
pay no tuition and work at least 15 hours a week at a campus work station.
Jobs are taken seriously at the school of 1,400; students are graded on their
work performance in addition to their academics.
History: In 1906, Presbyterian missionary James Forsythe helped open
the School of the Ozarks to provide a Christian high school education to children
in the Ozarks region, which spans parts of Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and
Kansas. The school added a two-year junior college 50 years later and completed
its transition to a four-year college program in 1965. The school was renamed
College of the Ozarks in 1990 and has established itself as one of the top
liberal arts colleges in the Midwest.
Notable: College of the Ozarks was No. 4 on the Princeton Review's
list of the top 10 Stone-Cold Sober schools in 2008.
Famous Alum: Actress and model April Scott, who played Daisy Duke in
the straight-to-DVD prequel of Dukes of Hazzard - Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning.
Scott has also appeared in Entourage, as a briefcase-toting model on Deal
or No Deal, and on various magazine covers.
How to Spend the Money Saved on Tuition: Silver Dollar City, an amusement
park in nearby Branson, Mo., harkens back to simpler times with its 1880s
theme. In addition to thrills, roller coasters at the park offer scenic views
of the Ozarks.
- Deep Springs College www.deepsprings.edu
Deep Springs is a two-year, all-male liberal arts college located on a cattle
ranch and alfalfa farm in the Inyo-White Mountains of California's High Desert.
To get an idea of just how isolated the school is, consider the explanation
for its policy forbidding smoking in any of the school's buildings or near
hay bales: "We're 45 minutes from the nearest emergency services, so a fire
could be disastrous." Every student admitted - 10 to 15 per year - receives
free tuition, room, and board, and works at least 20 hours a week on the ranch.
The manual labor ranges from washing dishes to milking cows. Most students
complete their degrees at prestigious four-year schools after leaving Deep
Springs.
History: Deep Springs was founded by Lucien Lucius Nunn, a pioneer
in electrical engineering who helped design the Ontario Power Plant at Niagara
Falls. While working for the Telluride Power Company, which provided power
to gold mines, Nunn invited young men to work for him in exchange for an education.
The work-study program became known as the Telluride Institute in 1905. Nunn
was driven out of the company in 1912 by a powerful stockholder who believed
Nunn's unconventional means of attracting workers was detrimental to the business.
Nunn decided to start a completely new educational endeavor at Deep Springs,
which admitted its first class of 20 in 1917.
Notable: Academics, labor, and self-governance are the three pillars
of the Deep Springs experience. Students have a say in what subjects to study,
what professors to hire, and even what applicants to admit.
Famous Alum: William T. Vollmann, a novelist and journalist with a
propensity for writing about dangerous firsthand experiences, including a
trip into Afghanistan with the Mujahideen in 1982. Vollmann has written more
than 20 books, including Europe Central, which won the 2005 National Book
Award for Fiction.
How to Spend the Money Saved on Tuition: Given that students are generally
prohibited from leaving the ranch during the semester, online shopping via
the somewhat reliable Internet connection is one of the only viable options.
- UC-Irvine School of Law, Class of '12 www.law.uci.edu
In an effort to attract the best and brightest students for its inaugural
class, the UC Irvine School of Law is offering a free ride to all 60 students
admitted this fall. Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, a constitutional law scholar,
told reporters, "Our goal is to be a top-20 law school from the first time
we are ranked." By early February, the number of applicants at California's
first new public law school in 40 years had topped 1,000. The school will
rely on grants and donations to cover the estimated $6 million it will cost
to put each of the students in the first class through the program.
History: There is some precedent for a professional school offering
free tuition to its inaugural class. In 2008, the Central Florida College
of Medicine received nearly 3,000 applicants after offering the same deal
to each member of its inaugural class.
Notable: Chemerinsky, an adamant defender of the separation of church
and state, as well as abortion rights, was hired, fired amid political pressure
from conservatives one week later, and then rehired as Irvine's law school
dean in 2007.
Famous Alum: You? It's not too late to apply.
How to Spend the Money Saved on Tuition: In-N-Out burgers. Lots and
lots of In-N-Out burgers.
- Berea College www.berea.edu
Thanks to a large endowment, every student admitted to Berea College in Kentucky
receives a full-tuition scholarship valued at more than $90,000. Students
are required to work at least 10 hours a week in one of more than 140 departments,
and while room, board, and books are not covered, the work-study program enables
some of the 1,500 students to lighten their financial load even more. Berea
offers degrees in 28 fields.
History: Berea was founded in 1855 by Rev. John Fee - an ironic name
for the founder of a tuition-free college if there ever was one - as the first
interracial and coed college in the South. Classes at the school were fully
integrated until the Kentucky Legislature passed a law in 1904 that prohibited
school integration. The law was amended in 1950 to allow integrated education
above the high school level and Berea returned to its roots, becoming the
first school in Kentucky to re-open its doors to African-Americans.
Notable: Berea's motto is "God has made of one blood all peoples of
the earth."
Famous Alum: Carter G. Woodson, an African-American historian, journalist,
and author. After graduating with a Bachelor of Literature degree from Berea,
Woodson earned his PhD and taught at Howard University. He pioneered the celebration
of "Negro History Week" in 1926, which would serve as the precursor to "Black
History Month" as we know it today.
How to Spend the Money Saved on Tuition: Berea is home to the Kentucky
Artisan Center, a 25,000-square-foot facility that showcases Kentucky-made
arts and crafts in a variety of exhibits.
- Olin College of Engineering www.olin.edu
Olin College is a school of 300 in Neeedham, Mass., where every admitted student
receives four years of free tuition valued at $130,000. The school is funded
by a $400 million grant from the F.W. Olin Foundation and ranks as one of
the top undergraduate engineering programs in the country. There is great
emphasis placed on philanthropy at Olin; students are encouraged to develop
creative ideas that address societal needs and help make the world a better
place.
History: The school is named for Franklin W. Olin, who founded the
Olin Corporation and made a fortune selling ammunition.. Olin was a great
philanthropist, too. Since 1938, the F.W. Olin Foundation has contributed
more than $300 million in grants to colleges and universities throughout the
country. The same foundation financed the development of Olin College, which
was completed in 2002. The school graduated its first class in 2006.
Notable: Indicative of the entrepreneurial spirit of the school, six
Olin students are taking a year off to develop educational Internet software
- think Google Docs meets Facebook - for local middle school students. The
students expect the software, which will include built-in features that allow
parents and teachers to interact with and monitor their students' work, to
be operational by mid-April.
Famous Alum: He's not exactly famous, but Alex Dorsk does have a cleverly
titled blog chronicling his time aboard a research vessel with the Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution.
How to Spend the Money Saved on Tuition: Honor the legacy of F.W. Olin,
who played two years of professional baseball after graduating from Cornell,
with a trip to Fenway Park in nearby Boston.
- Cooper Union www.cooper.edu
Located in Manhattan, Cooper Union offers degree programs in art, architecture,
and engineering, and every admitted student receives four years of free tuition
valued at $130,000. According to a recent article in the New York Times, applications
for early decision to the school were up 70 percent this year. The admissions
rate at Cooper Union is about 8 percent, while the enrollment is a little
more than 900. The Cooper Union endowment is valued at nearly $600 million.
History: Peter Cooper, who invented the first locomotive in the United
States, believed that education of the highest quality should be "as free
as air and water," so he founded Cooper Union in 1858. Cooper's greatest legacy
may have come 14 years earlier, when he received the first American patent
for powdered gelatin. A cough syrup manufacturer bought the patent from Cooper,
developed a prepackaged gelatin dessert, and named it Jell-O in 1897.
Notable: The Great Hall on the Cooper Union campus has been the site
of several historic speeches. Abraham Lincoln outlined his views on slavery
- namely that he didn't want to see it spread - in a famous address there,
while Mark Twain spoke at the school's inauguration. Famous Alum: Milton Glaser,
who founded New York Magazine and designed the ubiquitous I Love New York
logo.
How to Spend the Money Saved on Tuition: Fifth Avenue is a start.
- Curtis Institute of Music www.curtis.edu
Like Juillard, the Curtis Institute of Music is considered one of the most
prestigious performing arts conservatories in the world. Unlike Juillard,
tuition at Curtis is free. Every student admitted to the school of 160 in
Philadelphia is provided a full scholarship, and all piano, harpsichord, composition,
and conducting majors are lent Steinway grand pianos. As part of their training,
students at Curtis host over 100 public concerts each year, and receive one-on-one
instruction from the musically accomplished faculty.
History: Mary Louise Curtis Bok founded the Curtis Institute in 1924
as a place for talented young performers to prepare for careers as professional
musicians. She named the school in honor of her father, Cyrus Curtis, the
founder of Ladies Home Journal and a fellow music lover.
Notable: According to the school's Web site, 17 percent of the principal
chairs in America's top 25 orchestras and four music directorships in the
top 50 are held by Curtis-trained musicians. More than sixty alumni have performed
with the Metropolitan Opera.
Famous Alum: Anthony McGill, a member of the Metropolitan Opera and
the clarinetist in the quartet that played at Barack Obama's Inauguration
last month. Also: Leonard Bernstein.
How to Spend the Money Saved on Tuition: Buy a membership to the Franklin
Institute to supplement your musical education.
- Alice Lloyd College www.alc.edu
All students at Alice Lloyd College in Pippa Passes, Ky., are required to
work at least 10 hours per week in exchange for free tuition. Students who
need additional financial aid to pay for room and board may work up to 15
hours per week. Jobs at the school of 550 are assigned based on a student's
work experience and personal preference.
History: Alice Spencer Geddes Lloyd, a former publisher and editor
of The Cambridge Press, moved from Boston to Eastern Kentucky in 1916. With
the help of June Buchanan, Lloyd chartered what was then called Caney Junior
College in 1923. The school became an accredited four-year college in 1980.
Notable: The call letters for Alice Lloyd College's non-commercial radio station,
which has broadcast inspirational programming around the clock since 1998,
are WWJD-FM.
Famous Alum: Carl D. Perkins, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives
from 1949 until his death in 1984. Perkins's legacy lives on in the form of
the Perkins Loan, a need-based Federal student loan.
How to Spend the Money Saved on Tuition: Elk were introduced to Kentucky
in 1997 as part of a restoration project and Knott County, which includes
Pippa Passes, is now known as the elk capital of the East. Tours are available
through several outlets.
